SUMMARY

Executing specific lines of Python code in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) on Ubuntu requires proper setup of the Python interpreter. Users can initiate the Python interpreter by typing "python" in the terminal, allowing them to execute commands like print('hello world') directly. This method ensures that individual lines of code can be tested without running the entire script. Proper configuration of the terminal and Python environment is essential for effective execution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Visual Studio Code (VS Code) interface
  • Basic understanding of Python programming
  • Knowledge of terminal commands in Ubuntu
  • Proper installation of Python and configuration of the PATH environment variable
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to configure the Python interpreter in Visual Studio Code
  • Explore the use of the integrated terminal in VS Code for executing Python scripts
  • Research debugging techniques in VS Code for Python applications
  • Understand how to set up virtual environments in Python on Ubuntu
USEFUL FOR

Python developers, software engineers, and anyone using Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu who seeks to enhance their coding efficiency by executing specific lines of code directly in the terminal.

Hi PF!

I am running VS Code for python on Ubuntu. Is there a way to execute a specific python line? As I currently have it set up, on the terminal input at the bottom of the screen, I can only work through the terminal, so a command like print('hello world') won't do anything.

THanks so mcuh!

Your title should be Visual Studio PYTHON code. VS runs lots of different codes (VB, C++, etc)

If you have python installed and your PATH set up properly, simply typing “python” in your terminal should start the interpreter.
